Nov 29, 2012 2:02 PM in response to MoSchloby MoSchlo,Let me clarify. Is there any way to downgrade from iTunes 11 back to iTunes 10.7 without using Time Machine?
-
Nov 29, 2012 2:07 PM in response to bbfcby explorz,Even with Time Machine it won't let you replace itunes 11 because it says that iTunes is needed by the Operating System.

Nov 29, 2012 2:10 PM in response to bbfcby a Mac user,I have done just this, and I got iTunes giving me an unknown error "42408". So I deleted everything relating to itunes, the frameworks, updated library files, mobiledevice stuff, etc. I then did a clean install of iTunes 10.7, now I still get the same error when I try to authenticate my iTunes account. I and login and sign out of the account in itunes fine, but if I try to authorize or sync my iPad I will get this error and not let me proceed.

Nov 29, 2012 2:19 PM in response to MoSchloby a Mac user,I had a copy of the install dmg in a time machine backup. I spent about 30 minutes digging through my downloads folder backups to find it.

Nov 29, 2012 4:17 PM in response to a Mac userby MoSchlo,I was able to install 10.7 using the link above (and after manually un-installing iTunes: http://www.brighthub.com/computing/mac-platform/articles/103203.aspx) However, I am now getting the dreaded unknown error (-42408) as soon as iTunes launches. It's an error that's associated with the iTunes store authorization. I've tried removing the SC Info folder (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389) to no avail. My library is fine and I can play anything I ripped manually, but any iTunes purchases keep asking for my password and when I enter it I get the -42408 error again. Any ideas on how to fix this error?
Thanks

Nov 29, 2012 10:02 PM in response to MAKoolby ngarritj,How do you reinstall using a backup from Time Machine?
I'm trying for the second time, replacing the folders HD/users/me/music and HD/Applications/iTunes.app. It didn't work the first time (after replacing almost 90GB of data) and I'm sceptical about it working this time.
There are lots of threads appearing with this issue, but no proven solution yet.
If you know another method to reinstall iTunes from TM I'd be grateful to hear it. -
Nov 29, 2012 10:24 PM in response to MoSchloby -Paul,if you go to itunes and view your account you can use the button to de-authorize all your computers. That should de-authorize so you can re-authorize.

Nov 29, 2012 11:05 PM in response to -Paulby ngarritj,I've tried that but to no avail - I get the same error message - 42408.
